CoLQUITT'S CHANCES.
A Belief that He Will Succeed Secre-
tary Lamar

WASHINGTON, Sept 2s.-The President is
expected to wait until Congress meets before
nominating a successor to the late Justice
of the United States Supreme Court. He
thinks it well that the appointee to this
place should be confirmed by the Senate
before he takes his seat on the bench. The
present members of the Supreme Court also
prefer this course. They will carefully do
the extra work during the October term
rather than run the risk of the formal rejec-
tion, by the Senate, of a non-appointee to be
member Of the court and actually exer-
else the functions of judge. The recent efforts
of the friends of gentlemen in Louisiana,
Texas and other States to have their
respective candidates appointed to the
vacancy has only strengthened the Presi-
dents conviction that Secretary Lamar is
the man for the place. He will be confirm
ed if appointed, for he is very popular in
the Senate. IL is believed here that Senator
Colquitt will be his successor at the head Of
the Interior Department.

STARKE SIFTINGS.
Great Interest in the Coming Prohibi.
ton Election.


STARKE, FLA, Sept 2S.-There is con-
siderable interest manifested here in the
election for or against prohibition which
comes Off Oct. IA. The saloons all close on
the last day of September, fourteen days
before the election, so we will practically
have prohibition in this town and county
for fourteen days at any rate The general
opinion is that the county will so dry by a
large majority.
Already parties are coming in looking for
houses, and there has been some important
sales of real estate. Starke is to have a
bank very soon. The building for that pur-
pose is now approaching completion, and is
large two-story brick, making a very
handsome appearance.
Capt. j. c. Richard, who was SO seriously
wounded in the face by George Miller, is on
the streets again. The ball was located and
extracted by the attending physician, DIR.
Tate Powell, only a few days ago, since
which his Improvement mas been very rapid.
Little Johnnie Beal, of Fernandina, was
very painfully injured yesterday on his
way home from Waldo. He was sitting at
the window of passenger coach on the
Florida, Railway and Navigation road fast
mail, and careessly allowed his arm 10 hang
out for some distance when il came i'm CON
tact with the swinging door of building at
Tempes, dislocating the bones at the elbow
joint, cutting and confusing the limb con-
siderably. He was returned to Starke on
the next train going south, and turned over
to the companys surgeon, DIR. Tate Powell,
for treatment. DIR. Powell replacei the dis
located bones, and returned him to his
parents ON the next train.
The newspaper mania is rampant in
Starke at present. We are to have during
the next few days three papers-two
weeklies and one daily. The latter is to be
called the florida Reflector. 1t will make
its first appearance Oct. 8. The East
HoridG Courier came out last week, and
WAS certainly a credit to its projectors, Mr.
Yrimble and Miss Emma Hogan.

BOND OFFERINGS.
Secretary Thompson Entirely Satisfied
With the Result.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.-To-day's offer
ings Of bonds to the government amounted
to 1858, 900 Of which $685. $50 were ~ per
cents, and S99, $50 per cents. Acting Sec
retary Thompson said this after
noon that he could only account
for the smallness Of the offerings
on the theory that the holders Of the bonds
did not care 10 convert them into money.
IL might, however he added, be regarded
as healthy sign as tending 10 show that the
$50, 900, 900 recently put upon the market by
tho operations Of the department had
averted the possibility of panic and had
brought about feeling of greater confidence
and security. Less than g, 10000 Is now
needed, he said to meet the sinking fund
requirement Of $4,000 900. and there are
still nine days within which ~ obtain that
amount according ~ the terms Of the cir,
cular. Applications for The prepayment u

Both SIDES OF the river.
GALVESTON, Sept. 2S.-A special to the
Ne,Os from Brownsville says: sit is re-
ported that great distress prevails on both
sides of the Upper Rio Grande country on
account of the high water. 1t is said that
entire farms are under water and that fam
lies residing near the river have been
washed out and have lost all they had.
A large number of these families
have lost their entire crops reaped during
the past season. The river has overfiowed
its banks for miles, and looks like an ocean.
The water is still rising at Brownsville.
Edinburg and La Pueblo, situated sixty
miles above Brownsville, have been washed
from the face Of the earth, and at Santa
Mara the water is gradually making its
way to destroy that place"

Vanity May accomplished 1t.

Mayhap the vanity of women will yet
prompt the sex to a reform not die
tated as yet by their consideration: for
men. At the America Opera Com
pany's opening performance in the Bos-
ton Theater more than one-half the To-
dies of the audience complied with the
management's request to remove their
hats. Some held the removed cover
ings in their laps, while still others
had them checked at the ladies' cloak
room. 1t was noticed that the reflec-
ton from the foot-lights and chande-
liers enhanced the beauty of every
feminine face not overshadowed by a
hat, and it is known that there was
more grace in the hearts of the men
who sat behind them. In most cases
where the hats were worn throughout
the evening they were of the low
crowned variety. The hatless ladies
had an opportunity to display hand
some coiffures and pins, and it is per-
haps unnecessary to add that they made
the most of it.-PhiladelphiG Times.

George Cannabell Howard of "Uncle
Toms Cabin" fame died at his home in
Cambridge, Mass, a few days ago., at
the age of 60. He was born in En-
gland September 6, 1918, and quite
early in life he went to live in Nova
Scotia. He first appeared in the Chest
nut Street Theater, Philadelphia. in
1888, having come to the States two
years previously. In October, 1874, he
was married to Miss Caroline S. Fox,
sister of George Fox and ex-Mayor
James A., both Of -Dumpty"
notoriety. She took the part Of Topsy
and her little daughter Cordelia, Eva,
